For the flow of names that 2021/22 had, those that are still in competition are very few. However, this handful of Argentines who are still in action are playing extremely important things. On this side of the Atlantic, the Argentine derby in Mexico was left in the hands of Macarena Rosset, from Junin, who on consecutive days beat compatriot Candela Foresto’s Abejas de León with her Fuerza Regia.
In Italy, Natalia Rios’s Capri saved their A-2 category with an extraordinary game from the perimeter, which scored a triple-double. The one who did not have the same luck was Gisel Villarruel, because his Vicenza fell in the semi-finals of permanence and now they will go for all or nothing against Treviso.
One step below, Josefina Torruella’s Basket 2000 Senigallia said goodbye to the season without playing, because a positive case of Covid caused the game they owed to be canceled, and in this way they closed their participation in fourth place in the Emilia-Romagna region.
At that same level, both Zulema García León and Luciana Ricotti’s Livorno and Emilia García León’s Ancona are preparing for the end-of-the-month clashes in search of promotion. Lega C also concluded the activity of Gianella Frattoni’s PSA Sant’Antimo, which could not pass the semifinals.
In Spain, Ariana Rugna’s Terralfas is also counting down the days to face the defining stage in the First National; while in the Madrid Autonomous Region the 64th Olympic Malen Rodríguez advanced to the quarterfinals.
In Catalonia, Manuela Galfre’s Reus Natacio lost the first leg of their stay in the Cup by five, while Lloret from the Argentine quartet (Romero-De Dominicis-Ferreyra-Acosta) won in the First; not so Castelldefels by Agustina Leiva. For its part, in Chile came the first victory of the Universidad de la Frontera de Melisa Cejas; while in Uruguay, beyond the postponement of the match between Malvin de Malvina D’Agostino due to the participation of the Playeras in the South American League, in the rest of the matches there was a good performance from our team.
